Square Stand now available from Best Buy, Apple Stores, or directly from Square

The Square Stand, an iPad mount with a built-in card reader from Square that integrates with other Square hardware, is now available for purchase at Best Buy locations and Apple Retail Stores. Square's own online store will also sell the stand. Square says that Best Buy stores will eventually allow users experience a demo of the stand in action

Neighborhood retail locations are an important resource for small business owners looking for new opportunities and technologies that can help them grow. Customers can purchase Square Stand in both Apple retail stores and Best Buy stores. In Best Buy, customers can also experience Square Stand with interactive product demos that will roll out to over 1,000 locations in the coming months.

In addition to the card reader, the Square Stand can also be secured to a surface, and the iPad used with the stand can be locked inside of it, protecting your iPad from theft. Square says that other hardware like cash drawers, receipt printers, and barcode scanners can be connected to the device quickly and easily. The Square Stand costs $299, and preordered stands are shipping to customers this week.
